But I heard about Tama-Chan's kittens & the kitty who went to the Rainbow Bridge, so I had to post.

I may be shy, but I think about many things all the time. And I think that those kittens are an example of how life is such a wonderful mystery. I also think that it is a mystery how we are so lucky to have this big life to be together & have wonderful memories. ((((((( thoughtful purrs )))))))

For all you shy kitties out there, go give your favorite HumanBean or other furry friend a head-butt or nose-tap!

Dear kitty-kat friends in bloggieville. Home of the tunas & kibble treats. How are ya allz?

We are very very good & are feeling very frisky & furr of cuteness. Here are some snapshotz of us. Mom had a hard time doing these cuz I am alwayz bugging her to play with the feather stick. I LOVE THE FEATHER STICK! I DO. I DO. YES!!!!

1st. Me & my BFF Little Bunny. She is a very young frisky girl like me. We chase each other lots. But she getz tired of my antics & waps me on the head, a lots!! But we do nap well togetha on the little kit-kat-tree. BIRDS abound out this window!!!!

2nd. Here are the old boyz ... Look furry carefully & you will see the Sweet Tannie Man way in the back. That's Blackie up close ... Little Bunny's BOYFRIEND. HA!

3rd. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE & the FEATHER STICK.

Last, just lil'ole me. I am being sneaky ... that FEATHER STICK has no clue. No siree. NONE!

Oh yeh, Mom sayz thx pls for visiting us. We love your comments!! Mom reads them on her iPhone in bed at night. Tannie Man does NOT like the iPhone. He will bite it one day ... I know this. I see it in hiz eyes. Green with envy.

Anywhooz. All you kitties get a FEATHER STICK & then mail it to me. OK! Okey dokey!!

Blackie - My main man. I snuggle with him all the time. He doesn't like it. So, sometimes I do my special girl call & we do the faux- you-know-what. Tee hee. Mom has to break us up. Hey, we are both not ready to have kittens & can't. But, well ...

Daisy Jiji - Livin for the water in the tub. She also chats a lot & growls at Mom when Mom doesn't pay attention to her ... Like right now!

Miss Simba Kitty - gold girl, she just hangs around on her favorite chaise lounge & watches TeeVee with Mom. She loves the pets while basking under the mid-century modern lamp ... And baby food. Mom feeds her with a spoon. S-p-o-i-l-e-d that one!

Me - Ever since our flea outbreak, I have learned how to rocket around the house on "high ground!" The fleas are gone - Mom wacked them all on the head & Daisy Jiji chased them out ... Honest, she popped them with her paws. I like to speed around jumping from all the tables, chairs, beds and leap upon window sills or into sinks. I can stop on a dime!

Anycat, hope you all had a really great Summer - We are glad Fall is here. Wind in the whiskers, ya know!

Pinkness abounds in our little fuzzy purrry world ... See these 2 whiskery ones in action:

First up is little bitsy Missy Daisy Jiji, she is really that little. Mom says that if we can't find that little kitty kat, just go look in the tub. Cuz that's where you will find this girl. She loves the water. Honest!

Mom even has a vintage pink washcloth to dry her off with ... Soaked after the game of "let's water the tub, while Miss Crazytown runs around under it!" Mom uses a little water can that is not in the photo. Our girl loves it!!

Then there is Mister Snoozyville. Sweet sweet Tannie Man, the golden one! Check him out below. Enough said right? His goldness keeps those purdey daffodils company much of the time & he stays clear of Miss Crazytown, who loves to headlock him. Yikes!!!

Hope you & yours have had a grand weekend! We have loved hearing from you furries. Mom is procrastinating & will reply back for us later this week. We love ya all!!!

Friday, August 21, 2009

How ya beans been?!? We are loving that it is Fall. Frisky-ness abounds & Mom is up to helping us all blog again. Furray!!!

You can see that the Daisy Jiji is getting into practice for cooking under the lamp on the floor. She loves it there, even if it a million degrees hot outside. Crazy little kitty! Purzzzzzzzzz to all. We are all great & hope you are too!!

The Whippy Curly Tails are doing very well ... Not one of them is "under the weather"! Thanks goodness.

Here is pic of Miss Daisy Jiji & Mr Tannie Man the ginger boy. They have become the best of wrestlin friends. Tannie weights about 12 lbs & Daisy Jiji 8lbs. They are hilarious to watch.

~ Look at Tannie Man's big fluffy tail in the pic. This is mid-wrestle.

I truly believe that this relationship has given Tannie his second life. He is so happy. I have even witnessed several moments in which Daisy Jiji has head-locked Tannie in order to give him a complete head bath!!!

I had gotten Daisy Jiji for Little Bunny ... They are both close in age. DJ is 9 months old. Late at night these 2 wild girls run all over the house. They terrorize all the house plants & Miss Simba. No worries about Miss Simba ... She has found high ground & has an impressive hiss!

Friday, April 17, 2009

Said the Blackie to the little Daisy Jiji,Do you see what I seeWay down in the sink, little Daisy Jiji,Do you see what I seeA drip, a drip, dancing in the sinkWith a splash as big as a rain dropWith a splash as big as a rain drop!

La, la, la ...................

Miss Daisy Jiji was mesmerized by the splashy drip for long enough to lull her into sleep. {{{yippee}}} The little cats sleeps!

I am the new kitty here & I am black with a little white pouf under my chin. Mom wanted me to tell you all quick story ... It's about my name ... First here's a pic of me & THAT Little Bunny:

[click on the photo to see us better]

One of our favorite Blogspots is over at Tommy and the Girl's place. It is quite possible that Mom got the idea to adopt me from seeing that cute Sei-Chan. Also THAT Little Bunny needed a gal pal to run wild with ... ME!

When Mom brought me home she kept thinking about the cute black kitty in the movie Kiki's Delivery Service. She could not remember that cat's name. So she let her Mom name me. BUT, then Tommy & the Girls left a message about the same movie ... They mentioned the cat's name is Jiji. So guess what? That is now my middle name. I love it.

Thx to Tommy's Beans for the message! Everyone should go rent the movie, you will love it.

BTW, this is what Miss Simba thinks of me! This is her hiding out, high a top her favorite look out post!

Introducing the new "Queen" of the household ~ Miss Daisy. She has been officially Tannie Man "approved" & has already endeared her sweet self to us, all!

Day 2, her first photo taken from the sanctuary of her own room ...

Day 3, her first nap outside of her room ...

Today, day 6 in the "pink" room, after a breathless romp with THAT Little Bunny ...

Her official portrait "Queen Daisy" ...

Fast Facts about Queen Daisy:

1. She is 8 months old2. She was adopted from the SPCA3. My Brother saw her at a PetCo & took me to meet her4. My Mother named her5. Blackie was the first to touch her nose - It got in HIS way while he was trying to eat her food.6. Tannie was the second to touch her nose with his nose - He is such a sweetie!7. Simba spent 5 days in the top of a cat tree as an observer - She did go out for food & litter box duty!8. THAT Little Bunny was NOT happy about Daisy. Nope, not at all ...9. Today, THAT Little Bunny gave in to Daisy & decided she was OK10. THANK GOODNESS!

As a new cat-mom, I have been sleep deprived & thought at moments "WHAT WAS I THINKING!" But then last night I allowed Daisy to sleep on the big bed with Tannie, Blackie & I. Little Bunny & Miss Simba went back to their normal modes of operation & slept in their favorite spots - ALL NIGHT LONG! We all slept through the night. Heaven!

Few more things ...

I have had to rip out a portion of my kitchen floorboard to allow Daisy to wiggle out of the cabinet space that she managed to squeeze into. Seriously ... She is like a tiny little mouse. I could not believe it. Panic ensued & after I tore the kitchen apart, she just walked out looking at me like, "What took you so long?"

During a tense play session with THAT Little Bunny, Daisy walked over to the bath mat Little Bunny was doing the Hidey in & just sprawled out on the mat ~ She proceeded to do a big cat bath. All I could think was how will I explain my visit to the ER after I broke up the fight. BUT, Little Bunny looked at me in disbelief. No growling or hissing ... I think at that moment LB thought, "OK. She wins!"

When Daisy gets really frustrated she grumbles & talks to herself. Usually this involves trying to get up on things or wanting back into the bowels of the kitchen cabinets - Which I have boarded up!!

I am sure I will have more stories ... Until then, thanks for all the votes & advice!!!

Tuesday, April 07, 2009

We need your vote & opinion ... Vote over at the poll to the right, after you read this, please.

Our Mom has been thinking that Little Bunny needs a young gal pal to run with in the house. All 3 of us are 8 years old & we love to lounge. The Little Bunny is a wild ball of energy.

Mom's heart just breaks when she leaves the house - The Little Bunny sits in the middle of the room, looking sad. She does that silent meow thingy ... Sad, sad, sad. All of us are snoozing & the Little Bunny is wired & ready to play.

See this sweet little girl, below?

Well, Mom saw her today AND snuggled with her. Mom's brother meet this kitty too & said she would be purrfect for that Little Bunny. She is 8 months old & is VERY playful. Could we be her forever home!?!

What do you think ... Should Mom bring her home?

All comments are welcome & appreciated.

BTW ... Tannie Man is doing VERY well. He is the most patient with new kitties - Even when that Little Bunny showed up.

Many thx for your thoughts,Blackie

Ps. I would love it if Mom would bring that sweet girl kitty home - I am just to set in my ways to run with Little Bunny! Sometimes I must hiss at her to get some shut-eye.

Monday, April 06, 2009

It's me, Miss Simba. Just all stretched out - See me below. (BTW, that Little Bunny is in a photo below ... Go see her!)

We have been very busy & a bit worried. Tannie Man got sick again ... But he is better!!

He has been to the Vet lots & comes home smelling fierce!All his tests are negative ... The Vet is mystified.Mom just is happy Tannie feels happy!!!That's why she has been busy.We have missed you all.She posted a song,JustForU ...

A Spoonful Of Sugar

In every job that must be doneThere is an element of funYou find the fun and snap!The job's a game

And every task you undertakeBecomes a piece of cakeA lark! A spree!It's very clear to see

That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downThe medicine go down-ownThe medicine go downJust a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downIn a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nestHas very little time to restWhile gathering hisBits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuitHe has a merry tune to tootHe knows a songWill move the job along

For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downThe medicine go down-ownThe medicine go downJust a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go downIn a most delightful way

The honeybees that fetch the nectarFrom the flowers to the combNever tire of ever buzzing to and froBecause they take a little nipFrom every flower that they sipAnd hence (And hence)They find (They find)Their tasks is not a grind ... la la, la la, la ...

Tannie & I are both feeling a little bit punky! The Little Bunny has been a great friend while we both relaxed. Blackie & Miss Simba have napped along with us.

This is the Tannie Man's most favorite place to nap. It is his pink pouf, stationed right by the window with the best bird watching. Sometimes Little Bunny joins him when a squirrel drops by!

My brother even came over with some food & a movie - High School Musical 2. Little Bunny got some serious play time in with him - She is definitely a boyz-kitty cat! After he left, she curled up in her favorite spot for a long, long snooze!

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Little Bunny & Miss Simba have been working really hard to find out how to play together. The cat tree seems to be a thing they can play on & enjoy themselves ... Miss Simba usually hisses at Little Bunny. Little Bunny has way to much energy for Miss S!

Thanks for the pretty award from Sunny's Mom! There are 4 kitties in this house & here are the 6 things that make them happy:

Blackie

"I am a cat named Cheyenne-Millie. I live in Northern California. I was an abandoned cat... left behind by a neighbor who moved away. I lived alone outside for about 2 weeks hiding in and around the bushes. I have always been kind of shy. I was very skinny by the time the humans in my new home caught me. I like this place, because I get well fed here, and there are lots of places to hide. But best of all I have a family who loves me!"

We love reading her bloggy & have learned a lot today. Did you know she lives with 2 other kitties - Sandusky & Spooky? And a dog named Monty? Monty is a very lucky pooch ... Occasionally he is fortunate enough to find goodies from The Tennis Ball Fairy on walks with his Mom. BTW, yesterday was Monty's BirthDay!

This is the BOOGEYMANZ & he is FIERCE! This is the poem that sums him up:

acquainted with the night (*)

I have been one acquainted with the night.I have walked out in rain --and back in rain.I have outwalked the furthest city light.I have looked down the saddest city lane.I have passed by the watchman on his beatAnd dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feetWhen far away an interrupted cryCame over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;And further still at an unearthly heightOne luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.I have been one acquainted with the night.

OK, he is near Blackie's toes. But, wait! Blackie doesn't care. HOW CAN THAT BE !?!

:::: whispers ::::

It is me, the Little Bunny ... Let me get way down low to the ground & skulk my way over to sniff the FIERCE Boogeymanz. Wait over there. K?

:::: whispers ::::

It's OK, I think? Let me go get Tannie Man.

Hello Bloggyville ... It's me Tannie Man! See me below? It's OK!

Our Mom is on a tight budget, except for stuff for us. She says we must be spoiled at all times. We agree. Anywhoo. She saw this Boogeymanz & had to have him. According to Mom, he was very cost effective. Hmmm? - We say, "And scary too!"
